OUR SCHOOL PROGRAM
Auburn Montessori embraces the culture of the outdoors. We house a number of animals, goats, chickens, dogs, rabbits - who we have learned are invaluable in teaching children the language of love and the art of awareness and empathy. Our beautiful woods, trails and natural outdoor play equipment encourage a connection with nature.
Research is now proving what we discovered long ago, and what Maria Montessori firmly established in her original children's houses. The benefits of outdoor exposure positively impact children's social, psychological, academic and physical health. In the book Last Child in the Woods, author Richard Louv notes that children in our culture are at risk of a "nature deficit disorder." Recent science in the area of brain development confirms that the outdoors strongly affects developing cognition; So along with a complete Montessori academic curriculum, we also provide every possible outdoor experience from science, hiking, sledding, collecting, art and free play as an integral part of our program.
Natural beauty combines with caring for the environment and the animals who reside here, to give the child a sense of purpose as caretakers of their futures. We believe in giving children a sense of optimism, hope and ownership of their future.
